4K Restoration by Kadokawa
Go from soldier to Shogun in the rare and outlandish action adventure. Ever wondered how a tank would fare against an ancient army? Strap in for the action-packed, genre-bending spectacle G.I. SAMURAI (SENGOKU JIEITAI), starring martial arts legend Sonny Chiba. Packed with explosive clashes of metal versus sword, Chiba’s signature physical intensity, and a pulsing ’70s soundtrack, G.I. SAMURAI delivers a high-octane fusion of sci-fi, historical drama, and all-out action.
G.I. SAMURAI has been carefully restored in 4K by Kadokawa.
